QB rated at the top of the KHSAA’s ’28 graduating class
Miles Hollon is the first player in Breathitt’s illustrious football history to start at QB for the Bobcats as a freshman. The kid really acquitted himself well too. How well did he do? Well, he completed over 60% of his passing attempts a year ago (115/190), passed for close to two-thousand yards (1,949-yards), and carried a nearly 3:1 touchdown to Interception ratio (21:8). Heck, the kid found the end zone with his feet in spite of his being a “Pro-style” as opposed to “Dual-threat” guy. This guy also led his team to the playoffs, turned the team’s season around after getting out of the gate 2-4 in the first six games (before posting a 4-2 over the last six), and put nearly 30 points on the board at Fort Mitchell, KY against the classification’s 2A champions, Beechwood High. What will he do as a sophomore? We can’t wait to see.

Friday Night Fletch, “KPGFootball”
Jackson (Breathitt County), KY: Miles Hollon (’28 QB) did something a year ago no other quarterback who has played for the Bobcats has ever before done. Hollon started for the Bobcats, from night one, snap one, as a freshman in high school.
There are plenty of coaches out there who would consider having to start a freshman at QB as catastrophic. The prevailing sentiment is every freshman you have to start equals a loss or two a piece. That would have been a really bad omen for Kyle Moore (HFC) as he also started a freshman at RB in Eli Thomas.
The Bobcats took some lumps in the first six games posting a 2-4 and dropping games to some right stiff competition (Belfry, 4A Perry County Central, 4A Johnson Central, and 4A Letcher County Central). Coming down the stretch, Breathitt performed quite well beating Leslie County, Danville, an 11-win Prestonsburg squad, and Walton Verona in a row.
Breathitt had to go to Fort Mitchell and play 18-time, State Football Champion Beechwood High on the road in the second round. While the Bobcats fell short, the young Breathitt squad did post 28-points on the Tigers.
For the season, Hollon had some very un-freshman like numbers. Hollon completed a smidge over 60% of his passing attempts for nearly two (2) thousand yards with 21-passing TDs compared with just 8-thrown interceptions.
That is right efficient play for a freshman at a position like QB. Heck, the kid scored a rushing TD to boot.
Hollon has been rate the top pro-style QB in the KHSAA’s ’28 graduating class

Hollon has a pretty good frame for a kid his age. Hollon measures between 5’10” and 5’11” and we have seen him listed both heights by reputable, national recruiting services. Hollon weighs in the 150-160-pound range.
Hollon is a playmaker. Hollon has quick feet and a quick over the top delivery. Hollon is wise beyond his years in reading opposing defenses and makes appropriate, mature, and wise decisions with the football. Remember, Hollon only threw eight (8) picks a year ago and was a freshman playing a killer schedule.
Hollon’s throws are well placed and he gets aligned with his receivers well when he steps down the hallway to deliver the football. Hollon releases the ball over the top, like you want to see it, and gets the ball out quickly with the strength to zip the ball out to receivers running any of the routs on the route tree.
Among Hollon’s best attributes is his ability to deliver the ball on the roll out. Hollon throws it, while on the move, both accurately and with an exceedingly nice touch.
We would be shocked if Hollon doesn’t eclipse 3,000-yards passing this coming season, throwing 30-plus TDs. The Bobcats look poised to have a big year and make a deep playoff run. The team boasts one of the more dynamic and explosive offensive backfields in 2A football all across Kentucky.
When it comes to predicting future stardom at the QB position, we wouldn’t argue that Hollon has already arrived even though this will be his sophomore season. As for next level likelihood for this prospect, he appears to be a sure thing from where we sit.
